Do you purchase items for their quality or for the lowest price?

[nannycoe1]

I always go for the best deal, not just brand name. It really depends on the product and what it will be used for.

I typically purchase quality over price - but it's a balance.  Just because something has fancy features doesn't necessarily mean it's better "quality".  I tend to find things middle of the road so they have durability and longevity due to their quality at a reasonable price.

Depends on what I'm buying.  For instance I will buy higher priced detergent because its better. I learned from my mother to always buy for quality which was hard for me for a long time because I'm cheap.

I like items which are a good value, and I look for quality when buying some items.

I usually buy cheap stuff but it depends on the item if I'm going to buy @cost or a higher price.

There are some things that you just can't buy the cheaper version. Like Kraft Mac and cheese. Sorry but I have tried "store"  brands and they just are NOT as good!!! It's better to pay more for that yummy mac and cheese please!

i like a mix of both.  i dont buy the most expensive nor do i  buy the cheapest i like the middle ground.

[ernica96]

it has to depend on what i'm buying. i remember buying a cheap chinese tablet for $50 and it worked for a while but it was so slow and eventually broke so now i kinda regret just choosing it for the low price. if the item is really expensive, then i buy it used or refurbished. like my toshiba laptop cost around $400 new and i got it refurbished for $180- ive had it for over a year and it's still good.

It does depend on what I am buying.  I try to get a quality product at a good price.

[timvolley]

I like get good quality at a low price

[demaina]

It depends.  If it's something generic which really doesn't matter, lowest price normally.  However, if it's something that I expect to last a while, I'll go for better quality as long as it isn't super expensive.

It depends on what I'm buying. I still like to get a good deal, even if what I'm buying is a little bit pricier.

[nickylanena]

I guess it depends. I usually purchase food according to price because oftentimes companies offer the same products but charge for brand names,

[nickylanena]

I usually go for the best value more than just the cheapest

I agree! whichever item has the best value.

It really depends on what I am buying and what the occasion is. I have two pens that I spent a fairly large amount for but they are well known for their quality and I feel good/rewarded when I use them for all of the hard work I have put in.  I have sunglasses that I have spent more money on because I feel better about myself when I wear them and feel that my eyes are better protected. In both of these instances I am much more careful with what I do with these items..I double check myself every time I put them down.  Other items are purchased with quality and price in mind. I have a pair of shorts that I bought marked down three times.  I live in shorts when I am not in suits. These had all of my specifications: metal zipper, fully closing pockets, tie waist band in addition to buttons which all make for a better constructed short.
